An incredible article based on Rami Blackt's book that will help you overcome apathy, find out where to get energy for life to find happiness!
Lack of energy is the first sign of impending misfortune and disease.
Ayurveda was part of the revelation of the holy sages, who acquired a comprehensive knowledge of the universe. It says that if a person advances in the spiritual life, then this should be seen by two signs:
1. A person is becoming happier and happier every day.
2. His relationships with other people are improving.
If these signs are not observed, then no matter what good spiritual or religious practice a person is engaged in, it means that he is degrading.
True happiness comes from giving, from sacrifice, because we can feel love only when we give. A selfish, greedy, envious person cannot love, and hardly anyone will love him and want to communicate with him. Therefore, he cannot be happy. And we can give a lot if we are not dependent on this world. The less attachments we have in this world, the more we are able to give and, therefore, the more we can love.
If the willingness to take, to receive, is more than the willingness to give, then you are dependent. The recipient depends, the giver does not depend.

In Ayurveda, the most ancient medical system, which amazes with its depth and wisdom, it is argued that greed and envy lie at the root of all disease and suffering, since these qualities increase egoism, self-concentration, greed.
And what becomes of an organ or a cell that does not want to work for the entire body, but only to receive and consume the body's resources? Such organs become cancerous, and if the body does not get rid of them, then it dies. So the universe as a whole seeks to get rid of cancer cells - selfish people, or even civilization as a whole, in the first place, ceasing to give them energy.
The enlightened Arians pointed out in their canons that civilizations perish not as a result of wars, natural disasters, etc., but because everyone begins to think only about himself, only about taking, not giving. And the basic principle of harmony is the exchange of energies. Only he opens people's hearts to love and makes the world happy.
Spiritual homeostasis
Selfishness and greed are dangerous because they destroy homeostasis. Homeostasis is a state of complete harmony between the inner and outer worlds.
In order for homeostasis to be present, a living being must release energy. If energy is not released, then the living creature begins to depend on the environment. The main principle of independence from the world is the release of energy by a living being.
Homeostasis begins on the spiritual plane and extends to the physical and chemical. For spiritual homeostasis to exist, we must not depend on the world. After all, the more I depend on the world in any sphere, the sooner the changes in this world will destroy me.
We must stop being a consumer, we must give a lot more. But if we give on the physical, emotional, etc. levels, we ourselves must take somewhere. And we can take energy only at the divine level, where it is present in unlimited quantities.
This purest Higher spiritual energy passes through us if we do not suppress the feeling of love, we feel that the feeling of love should govern us, that we are secondary, if we can preserve this feeling, even if we lose human (money, prestige, loved one, etc.). etc.). Through the feeling of unconditional love, the main energy flows to us, which is spent on everything.
Food gives us energy on the Outer plane, but takes it on the inner plane. Note that people who fast periodically are much more energetic than those who eat a lot. Therefore, when we get sick, we do not want to eat, through fasting the body is cleansed and restores energy.
This whole world with its constant stresses, as well as food, non-spiritual communication, promiscuous sex, anxiety - take energy, and fasting, solitude gives it. But the greatest reception of energies goes through a continuous feeling of love.
Therefore, one of the first rules of health is to love the world with all the shortcomings, yourself (whatever I may be), your destiny in all situations, under any life circumstances.
Do your best to get rid of selfishness and self-interest. Set the goal of life for yourself - the acquisition of Divine love, for from the goal we take energy, and only the strong striving for Divine love itself fills us with higher energy.
Please note that our civilization lives under the motto: "Consume, consume, consume!" At the same time, the number of happy and healthy people is decreasing every day. Problems at the state and interstate level are growing every day. And neither new medicines, nor various methods from the series “How to Become Happy and Healthy,” or many public organizations help. The number of people suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome is increasing every day. How could it be otherwise? After all, the enlightened sages of all spiritual schools, modern progressive scientists assert: everything that comes from a false ego, from selfish motives, even if it looks like a good deed, leads to destruction and suffering. And everything that comes from the soul, that is, from the feeling of Unconditional Love, leads to bliss, health and complete harmony of the individual and her environment.
When do we receive subtle energy?
We receive subtle energy when:
- we are starving;
- we perform breathing exercises;
- we retire;
- we take a vow of silence for a while;
- we walk (or just find ourselves) along the seashore, in the mountains, contemplating beautiful landscapes of nature;
- we are engaged in unselfish creativity;
- we praise a worthy person for her lofty qualities and actions;
- laugh, rejoice, smile from the heart;
- we help someone disinterestedly;
- show modesty;
- we pray before meals;
- we eat foods full of prana (vital energy) - natural cereals, cereals, ghee, honey, fruits, vegetables;
- we sleep from 9-10 pm, until 2 am (at other times the nervous system does not rest, no matter how much we sleep);
- we get a good massage session from a harmonious personality. Or we do self-massage;
- pouring ourselves with cold water, especially in the morning and the strongest effect if we are standing barefoot on the ground;
- we donate our time, money;
- we see the divine will behind everything.
When do we lose energy?
Energy loss is caused by:
- despondency, dissatisfaction with fate, regret about the past and fear, rejection of the future;
- setting and pursuing selfish goals;
- aimless existence;
- resentment;
- overeating;
- uncontrolled wandering of the mind, inability to concentrate;
- when we eat fried or old food, food prepared by a person in anger or experiencing other negative emotions, when using a microwave oven, food containing preservatives, chemical additives grown in artificial conditions, using chemical fertilizers;
- eating food devoid of prana - coffee, black tea, white sugar, white flour, meat, alcohol;
- food in a hurry and on the go;
- smoking;
- empty talk, especially if we criticize or condemn someone at the same time;
- improper breathing, such as too fast and deep breathing;
- being in direct sunlight, from 12 to 4 pm, especially in the desert;
- promiscuous sex, sex without desire and especially without love for a partner;
- excessive sleep, sleep after 7 am, lack of sleep;
- tension of mind and body;

Eastern psychology 50% consists of pranayama - the theory and practice of certain breathing techniques that allow a person to be always filled with life force (Prana).
According to modern enlightened yoga teachers, we can gain Prana through:
1. Element of the earth: eat natural food, live in nature, contemplate trees, walk barefoot on the ground. Recently I talked with a very famous Ayurvedic doctor who defended his dissertation in medicine, he argued that if a person begins to live in nature, far from big cities, which are forced to ride the subway, walk on asphalt, then such a person quickly regains immunity and begins live a healthy life.
2. Water Element: Drink water from wells or streams. Swim in the river or sea. Avoid drinking caffeine containing drinks, alcohol and soda.
3. Fire element: being in the sun and eating food containing sunlight.
4. The element of air: this is the most important element in obtaining Prana by breathing in clean air, especially in the mountains, in the forest and on the seashore. Smoking and being in crowded places deprives a person of prana.
5. Ether element: cultivating positive thinking, kindness, good mood. And this level is considered basic. For even if a person lives in nature and eats properly, but at the same time walks irritated and angry, then on the contrary, an excess of Prana will destroy him even faster. On the other hand, a harmonious person, that is, a good-natured, fearless person, can last a long time in a city if he is forced to live there. But even such a person needs to monitor the diet and periodically "break out" into nature.
In cities, the source of prana is churches, temples, monasteries.
Every second we have a choice - to shine on the world, to bring good and happiness to others with our lives, to smile, to take care of others, to serve selflessly, to sacrifice, to restrain the lower urges, to see the Teacher in every person, in every situation to see the Divine providence that created this situation in order to teach us something, to thank …
Or make claims, be offended, complain, envy, walk with a wedge-shaped expression on your face, immerse yourself in your problems, in making money, in order to spend it on feeling gratification, to show aggression. In this case, no matter how much money a person has, he will be unhappy and gloomy. And every day there will be less and less energy. And in order to take it somewhere, artificial stimulants will be needed: coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, nightclubs, clarification of relations with someone. All this gives rise at first, but ultimately leads to complete destruction …
A simple, regular question to yourself: "Am I lighting up the world or am I absorbing the light?" can quickly change the course of our thoughts and, therefore, actions. And quickly turn our life into a beautiful bright glow, full of love. And then the questions of where to get the energy no longer arise …
